Abstract: In cable-stayed bridges, a cross-tie solution is considered an effective measure to enhance the in-plane stiffness of main cables while the damping increment of main cables is achieved by installing dampers on the main ...

Abstract: Cracking in pavements due to low temperature is the predominant distress in cold climate areas. The bending beam rheometer (BBR) test is typically utilized to determine the low-temperature performance of the asphalt binders. ...

Abstract: Conventional laboratory tests in geomechanics are inherently designed to create a uniform stress–strain field whereby relative homogeneity in data prevails at the expense of information diversity. The one-element convenience ...
